About the Tesla Model X

Tesla built the 7-seater Model X on the same platform as the 5-seater Model S executive saloon. The American automaker insists on categorising the X as a mid-sized SUV, although it's more of a people-carrier. Due to the X's improved practicality and performance, it took the record as one of the world's best-selling electric cars upon its release in 2015, boasting global sales of over 25,000 units by 2016. All Model X trim versions come with a compact three-phase electric motor on each axle. As a result, you get a flat cabin and more useable loading space than most other EVs. Regardless of which generation Model X you choose, you'll get a powertrain that's still very powerful. The twin-motor setup in the entry-level X takes 4.4 seconds to pull the 2,500-kg SUV from 0-62 mph, and the top-of-the-range X trim does it in just 2.7 seconds. Across the range, the Model X has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.

What should you expect to find in a Tesla Model X?

Tesla offers a 5-seater and 7-seater version of the Model X in 2 different trims: the Long Range and the Performance. All trim versions are lavishly equipped with a range of standard equipment across the range, including:

• 3-level LED headlights
• Air suspension with GPS tracker
• Electric tailgate
• Falcon-wing rear doors
• Keyless start and entry
• Over-the-air software updates
• Panoramic glass sunroof and windscreen

The GPS tracker is linked to the air suspension and has a memory function that remembers points along your journeys that required a higher riding height. The next time you travel on the road again, it will automatically increase the ground clearance whenever you reach those same spots. Other noteworthy standard features on newer generation Model Xs include:

• 17-inch infotainment display
• 22-inch alloy wheels
• 4 Isofix anchor points
• 4 wireless smartphone charging pads
• Heated seats
• Sat-nav with real-time traffic information

Going for the more powerful X Performance trim gets you a high-quality premium interior with self-presenting doors, an upgraded audio system and an air-filtration system that keeps the air in the cabin free of bacteria from its surroundings. You also get the Sub-Zero weather package, which makes driving in extreme weather hassle-free. In addition, it includes a heated steering wheel, heated all-round seats and heated washer nozzles. You can also upgrade your X with a unique 6-seater 3-row configuration instead of the standard 5 and 7-seat layouts.
